Dear Dot,
I just found Bobby's obituary on line. I am so sorry for your great loss. I was your pastor from 2008 to 2009 at Ash Presbyterian, PCA. You and Bobby were so very kind to me and my family during two of the hardest years of our lives. I think of you often and speak of you frequently to my son Isaac and my wife...telling stories about spending the night at your place down by the river and playing corn hole with rest of the folks from Ashe Pres.

I appreciate you so very much. May God bless you and keep you, and make his face to shine upon you, and give you His peace.

Pastor Scott Wilkinson
